10 Best Math Tuition Centres in Singapore (November 2026)

Fees are for one secondary subject, as each centre published them in November 2026, marked "incl. GST" or "before GST" only where the centre says so. A month usually means four weekly lessons.

Maths tuition for a P5 child and for a JC2 student are different products, sold by mostly different centres. This guide covers secondary school. Here's where to look for the other levels.

Two centres below, Math Academy and SGPCM, also teach H2 Maths, which helps if you want one teacher from Sec 3 to JC2. For the JC specialists, see my JC maths tuition guide.

These came close, or fit a narrower need. Each is worth a trial if it's near you.

• Tim Gan Math (timganmath.edu.sg): secondary, IP, JC and IB maths at Jurong East, Bukit Timah and Tampines, with two-hour A Maths lessons and video solutions between classes. Better known for H2 Maths; fees aren't on its class pages.
• Nanyang Education (nanyangeducation.com): 11 neighbourhood maths and science centres since 2008, with a free diagnostic trial. Fees aren't published, and its maths pages still describe Express, N(A) and N(T) streams.
• The Pique Lab (thepiquelab.com): E Maths and A Maths at Sec 3 and 4 at one campus in GR.iD on Selegie Road, S$110 a lesson including GST. It's also in my enrichment classes guide.
• Matrix Math (matrixmath.sg): best known for primary word problems, but it teaches to Sec 4 with up to eight students a class, from S$690 per subject for a 10-lesson term in 2027 (nett).
• Club Math (clubmath.sg): S$200 for four weeks of secondary maths at The Midtown in Hougang, six to a class. The cheapest group fee I found, from a small single centre.
• Overmugged (overmugged.com): known for its free O-Level notes, and running free trial lessons at seven locations in November 2026. Fees and class sizes aren't on its site.

For G3 students, the maths itself doesn't change in 2027. The SEC's G3 Mathematics and G3 Additional Mathematics papers cover the same topics, in the same format, as the 2026 O-Level papers. What changes is the certificate, the subject codes, and the fact that every subject now sits at a level: G1, G2 or G3.

Students who entered Sec 1 in 2024 are the first cohort under Full Subject-Based Banding, so if your child is in Sec 3 now, they'll sit the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) at the end of Sec 4 in 2027 and get results in January 2028 (MOE, March 2026). SEAB grades G3 from A1 to 9, as the O-Levels did, G2 from 1 to 6 and G1 from A to E.

I put SEAB's 2027 G3 syllabuses next to the 2026 O-Level ones. G3 Mathematics (K310) takes over from O-Level Maths (4052), and G3 Additional Mathematics (K341) from 4049. Apart from the names, they match: the same topics, and two papers of 2 hours 15 minutes and 90 marks each. So recent O-Level past papers are still good G3 practice. The G2 papers are shorter and worth 70 marks each.

A calculator from SEAB's approved list is allowed in both papers at every level, and missing working costs marks in all of them. Ask any centre whether its Sec 3 and 4 materials are labelled for the SEC and the right level. One still selling Express and N(A) classes hasn't caught up.

Every secondary student takes E Maths, which the SEC simply calls Mathematics. A Maths, Additional Mathematics, is an extra subject usually started in Sec 3, and your child needs it if H2 Maths at JC, or a science or engineering route after that, is a real possibility.

SEAB's G3 A Maths syllabus says it prepares students for A-Level H2 Mathematics and assumes everything in G3 Maths. It has three strands: algebra (quadratic functions, surds, polynomials and partial fractions, the binomial theorem, exponentials and logarithms), geometry and trigonometry, and calculus. E Maths is broader and more applied: numbers and algebra, geometry and measurement, statistics and probability, with real-world questions on interest, taxes, bills and timetables.

Here's how I'd decide. If your child is comfortable with Sec 2 algebra and wants the JC science route, take A Maths and get help early in Sec 3, because that's where grades tend to drop. Math Academy puts it plainly: for many Sec 3 students, A Maths is where grades fall one or two bands after a confident lower secondary. If algebra is already a struggle, a strong E Maths grade is worth more than two weak maths grades, so talk to the school before committing.

Since the 2024 Sec 1 intake, schools no longer stream students into Express, N(A) and N(T). Each subject is taken at G1, G2 or G3, mapped from those old standards, and classes are grouped by subject level, so a child can take maths at a different level from the rest of their timetable.

Where a child starts depends on the PSLE. A PSLE Score of 4 to 20 means G3 for most subjects, 21 to 22 G2 or G3, 23 to 24 G2, and 25 G1 or G2, according to MOE's Full SBB guide. On top of that, a child posted at G2 can take G3 Maths from Sec 1 with AL5 or better in PSLE Maths, and a child posted at G1 can take G2 or G3 Maths with the same AL5. Schools can also move students up later, based on how they do in secondary school.

For tuition, the level matters more than the year. G2 Maths has its own syllabus and a shorter paper, graded 1 to 6, so a G2 student in a G3 tuition class spends time on topics they won't be tested on. Math Lobby runs separate G2 and G3 classes, EduFirst lists G1 to G3 at lower secondary, and Math Academy and SGPCM teach G3. If your child is trying to move up, tell the centre, because they'll need G3 pace.

Start when there's a specific gap, and the two usual moments are early Sec 1 and the start of Sec 3. Sec 1 is where algebra arrives properly, and a child who never gets comfortable with it carries the problem for four years. Sec 3 is when A Maths begins, and it moves fast.

Starting in Sec 4 is late, but not hopeless, especially for E Maths. The November and December holidays are the cheapest time to catch up: Math Lobby, The Math Lab and Tim Gan Math all run holiday programmes, and for students sitting the first SEC in 2027 this is the last long break before it.

And don't start just because classmates have. If your child is coping in Sec 1 or 2, a term of steady homework does more than a weekly class.

The right maths tuition centre depends on your child's level and the problem you're trying to fix, so these are the things I weigh.

• The right level. G1, G2 or G3, E Maths or A Maths, IP or SEC. Ask which class your child would actually sit in, not just which year, and check it against the subject levels in MOE's Full SBB guide.
• Teaching to the 2027 syllabus. SEAB has published the SEC syllabuses for 2027. A centre that knows its Sec 3 class is preparing for K310 or K341 has done its homework.
• Who teaches. Ask who takes the class, not who founded the centre. Former MOE teachers and students fresh out of JC cost different amounts for a reason.
• Results with a year. "73% A1 or A2 at the 2025 O-Levels" is a result. "Over 80% score A" with no year is a slogan.
• Class size. Maths clicks when a tutor watches a student work. The Math Lab averages three or four, Math Academy caps at seven or nine, AGrader at 12.
• Fees in writing. Monthly fee, registration, deposit and whether GST is included. Several centres quote before GST and several after.

One more check. A centre teaching 10 or more students must be registered with MOE, and so must its teachers. Look it up on MOE's list of private schools and ask to see the certificate.

I started from the 100 pages Google Singapore shows for math tuition Singapore, which are mostly tuition agencies, home-tutor marketplaces and single centres, and from the centres parents name most often for secondary maths. I kept the ones with a real address, a secondary maths programme and enough published to compare: fees, class sizes, branches and teachers.

Every fee, branch list and class size here comes from the centre's own website in November 2026. I quote results only as each centre states them, with the year when it gives one. I left out JC-only specialists, which my H2 maths guide covers, and centres whose sites offered little beyond undated claims. I haven't printed Google ratings; read a centre's reviews yourself, and weigh the recent ones.

Math tuition in Singapore costs about S$270 to S$420 a month for a secondary group class of four weekly lessons in 2026 and 2027, from the centres' own fee pages. Mavis starts at S$267.05 at Sec 1 including GST, Odyssey charges S$280, AGrader S$294.30 to S$316.10, Math Academy S$320 to S$360 and The Math Lab S$420.

Per hour, Odyssey works out at about S$35, AGrader and SGPCM about S$40, Math Academy S$51 to S$57 and The Math Lab S$52. Online is cheaper: Math Academy's A Maths class is S$220 per four lessons on Zoom. Home tutor rates are the ranges tuition agencies publish for 2026, from part-time tutors to former MOE teachers. Budget for registration and a deposit on the first invoice.

A group class is better value for most secondary students, and a home tutor is better for a child who needs one-to-one attention or won't speak up. A small group class on this list costs about S$35 to S$57 an hour. A home tutor for secondary maths charges about S$30 to S$50 an hour as a part-time tutor, S$45 to S$70 full-time and S$60 to S$105 as a current or former MOE teacher.

The Math Lab's tables of three or four sit between the two. And MOE registration covers centres and their teachers, not home tutors or agencies, so check a home tutor's qualifications yourself.

Yes. A child posted at G2 can take G3 Maths from Sec 1 with AL5 or better in PSLE Maths, and schools can move students up later based on their secondary school results (MOE). Ask the maths teacher what the school expects, and pick tuition at G3 pace.

No. A Maths is an elective, and under Full SBB students can take it at a subject level suited to their strengths, G2 or G3, with the school guiding the choice (MOE). E Maths, which the SEC calls Mathematics, is the one every student takes.

If H2 Maths at JC is a possibility, A Maths is the subject that prepares for it. Ask the school which levels it offers A Maths at before your child chooses.

Yes. In the 2027 SEC, an approved calculator is allowed in both papers of every maths subject, at G1, G2 and G3, according to SEAB's syllabuses. Only models on SEAB's approved calculator list are allowed, so check your child's model number against it well before the exam.

Yes. Any tuition or enrichment centre teaching 10 or more students must be registered with MOE under the Education Act, and so must every tutor who teaches there. Search for the centre by name on MOE's list of private schools.

Registration covers the premises, the courses and the teachers. It isn't a quality rating, and it doesn't cover home tutors or tutor agencies.

Maths tuition is worth it in secondary school when it fixes a specific problem: algebra that never clicked in Sec 1, the jump to A Maths in Sec 3, or exam technique in Sec 4. It's worth much less as insurance for a child who is already coping. Families in Singapore spent about S$1.8 billion on private tuition in 2023, or S$104.80 a month per household, according to the Department of Statistics' Household Expenditure Survey.

My rule of thumb: give a centre one full term, then judge it on two things, your child's school maths results and whether they seem less anxious about the subject. If neither has moved, change something.

Parents pick a maths centre late at night, comparing three or four on their phone in one sitting. They skip the one with no fees, a dated timetable or a site that takes ten seconds to load, and a centre with excellent teachers can lose enquiries every week that way.
